| Methodologies |
| Methodologies | Description |
| Workshop | Realization of an individual work of a specific subject of the subject and sharing in a group to share knowledge. Later the works will be joined in a common one that will be presented in class by groups. |
| Mixed objective/subjective test | It consists in carrying out an objective test of approximately 3 hours, in which the acquired knowledge will be evaluated. |
| Guest lecture / keynote speech | Keynote speech complemented with the use of audiovisual media and the introduction of some questions to students, in order to transmit knowledge and facilitate learning. The order of the topics covered will not have to be the one described in the teaching guide. In addition, there will be topics that can be seen together on the development of others, and the division between them may not be strict. |
| Problem solving | Solving exercises and specific problems in the classroom, from the knowledge explained. |
| Personalized attention |

As part of the "Laboratory practice" may include aspects such as attendance, personal work, attitude, etc., to help to pass the subject. The "Mixed test" will be divided into a multiple choice and some questions. It is necessary to exceed 15% of the score in the "Mixed test" to pass, as well as to approve the works proposed in "Workshop". Students with recognition of part-time dedication and academic waiver of attendance exemption, second establishes the "NORMA QUE REGULA O RÉXIME DE DEDICACIÓN AO ESTUDO DOS ESTUDANTES DE GRAO NA UDC (Arts. 2.3; 3.b e 4.5) (29/5/212)", will be evaluated in the same way, allowing one more week of margin in the assignments. For the second opportunity, there will be no second deadline for assignments, and the evaluation will be done in a similar way to the first opportunity. The evaluation criteria of the early December call will be the same as those of the second opportunity of the previous year. |
